Acupuncture for infertility

Infertility is a problem that many couples will encounter. However, the technology for treating infertility in my country is relatively advanced, and many Chinese medicine practitioners also use acupuncture to treat infertility. Because most female infertility is caused by the failure of the ovaries to secrete eggs, infertility can be cured by helping women to dredge their ovaries so that the eggs can be discharged normally. So how does acupuncture treat infertility?

What are the therapeutic effects of acupuncture?

1. Unblock the meridians: If the meridians are blocked, the flow of Qi and blood will be obstructed. Acupuncture selects corresponding acupoints and acupuncture techniques to make the meridians unobstructed and the flow of qi and blood normal. The acupuncture method of "regulating menstruation and promoting pregnancy" has a significant effect in improving egg quality and reducing late complications of ovulation induction. Statistics show that Chinese medicine treatment can increase the embryo success rate by at least 10%!

2. Harmonizing Yin and Yang: Diseases can generally be attributed to imbalance of Yin and Yang. Acupuncture can transform the body from an imbalanced state to a balanced state through the Yin and Yang properties of meridians, acupoint combinations, and acupuncture techniques. For patients with superovulation and ovarian dysfunction, alternating acupuncture treatment on the waist and abdomen is the best embodiment of striving for a balance between yin and yang.

3. Strengthening the body’s resistance and eliminating evil: The process of disease occurrence, development and outcome is essentially a process of struggle between the body’s resistance and evil. The purpose of acupuncture in treating diseases is to play its role in strengthening the body and eliminating evil. The effect of acupuncture treatment is very obvious, and its application range is also quite wide. It has very good therapeutic effects on insomnia, headache, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, abdominal distension, hiccups and other diseases.

After talking about the therapeutic effects of acupuncture, we should talk about the "needle feeling" of acupuncture. It is a good thing to feel the needle at the necessary acupoints, and the treatment effect will be better.

After the needle is inserted into the acupuncture points of the human body, it will produce a feeling of soreness, numbness, swelling and heaviness. Sometimes it is a feeling that is difficult to describe. Some patients will feel comfortable, which can be said to be a comfortable pain, but some patients will mistake this numbness and swelling as pain. This uncomfortable pain is located in the "acupoints" and "meridians", not on the surface of the skin, and is usually deeper.

From a professional perspective, these sensations indicate that one has "obtained qi", and are a reflection of correct acupuncture points and effective techniques. If these sensations are very weak, acupuncturists will sometimes adjust the feeling of "obtaining qi" through needle manipulation techniques such as "twisting" and "lifting and inserting" to enhance the therapeutic effect of acupuncture according to different conditions and physical conditions.

Therefore, the "pain" of acupuncture is different from the pain you imagine; it is a therapeutic feeling.
